The legend Li Zhi mentioned was a folktale he heard from his peers when he was a fortune teller in a certain spiritual world.

It is said that a long time ago, at the foot of the mountain where they held the Dharma meeting, there was a village living on the back of the mountain. The men went out to cut firewood, and the women weaved at home, and they lived like this for generations.

One day, one of the woodcutters went up to the mountain to cut firewood, but he didn't return home until dark. Just when his wife wanted to go out to look for it, the woodcutter returned home.

The man seemed to have suffered some skin trauma, but luckily it was fine. His wife hurriedly called him back to the house and sat down, only to find that the hatchet on his waist was missing, and the back basket was filled with firewood instead of firewood. It was a mass of dark cotton.

The woodcutter's temper also became extremely irritable, and a person who was originally very gentle suddenly began to call her back and forth.

The peasant woman was very surprised, how could such a good husband become like this?

In fact, the change of the woodcutter was far more than that. After that day, he never went up the mountain again. Instead, he held the cotton as his treasure, dug up all the land in his backyard, and planted these cottons.

These cottons are miraculous. After removing the fluff on the outside, there are no seeds inside.What the woodcutter did was even more amazing. He even divided the cotton into small balls and planted them directly.

The peasant woman originally thought that her husband was wasting things by doing this, and she thought that she would dig out the cotton, wash it, weave it into cloth and sell it. Who knew that when she woke up the next morning, she saw that the yard was full of overgrown Black cotton.

"Go, weave this cotton into cloth, and I will sell it at the market tomorrow!" the woodcutter ordered.

The cotton came so easily that the peasant woman was really uneasy, but she hesitated for a moment, and her husband stared at her fiercely, which made her terrified and could only take the cotton to weave.

The peasant woman weaved for a whole day before turning all the cotton into cloth. The woodcutter took the cloth to the market before dawn the next day.

The peasant woman was cooking as usual at home, when she heard someone calling her, saying that her husband had quarreled with someone in the market.

She hurriedly followed this man out, and when she arrived at the market, she saw the woodcutter confronting two men who looked like scholars, and they were about to start a fight.I heard from the people nearby that it turned out that the woodcutter was selling black cloth here. Everyone saw that his cloth was so dark that they didn’t dare to buy it. After these two scholars came over, they insisted that the woodcutter was transformed by a monster. There was a quarrel on both sides.

Several people were arguing so hard that the woodcutter blushed and was about to fight the two scholars.

But one of the scholars is a well-known scholar from all over the world, and he has a detached status here, so everyone stops him.

When the scene was chaotic, the gentleman brought by the scholar winked at the crowd and told them to hold the woodcutter down, and then, with lightning speed, he took out a square box from his sleeve. with a long piece of wood, and slapped the woodcutter on the forehead.

The woodcutter froze immediately.

"This is the canopy ruler, which is specially used to subdue ghosts." Xiucai hurriedly explained.

Mr. muttered something, and signaled everyone to back down, leaving the woodcutter with a strange posture in place. Everyone retreated for a while, and saw the woodcutter twitching all over his body, and then his scalp was split from the middle, and the whole human skin fell off like this down.

From the breach in the human skin, a fat, white giant insect suddenly emerged, its limbs and facial features could not be distinguished, and it shivered under the canopy.

Only then did the peasant woman realize that her husband had died a long time ago, and that the person who slept with her these days was just a ghost wearing her husband's human skin.

Li Zhi paused at this point, "This legend is widely spread in the local area, but I haven't seen a similar situation with my own eyes."

In the conference room, the researcher pondered for a while, then frowned and said: "The situation described in this legend is very similar to the information from the ABO world, and it may really be the same disease."

"This shows that this disease is not unique to a certain world, and it may really be related to our evolutionary disease."

"However, we haven't found any cases where only human skin has been eroded. Most patients with evolutionary disease have brain tissue damage, and external factors cannot be ruled out. The situation described in this legend is considered to be severe acute pancreatitis. Pancreatic juice Corrosion due to seepage."

Another researcher nodded in agreement: "In that era, the scientific concept was backward. If the internal organs were already severely corroded when the corpse was discovered, it may indeed develop into such a legend. But this kind of disease often occurs in people with poor eating habits and obesity. It is not contagious in humans, and it does not fit very well with the situation in the ABO world..."

"The world is different, and it's normal to have different symptoms. What's more, what Comrade Li heard was a legend, and I don't know how many versions have been changed. I think this story can be used for reference..."

The medical experts had a heated discussion. Li Zhi didn't know much about medicine, and he had traveled through two worlds in a row. Everyone was worried that he couldn't take it anymore, so they asked him to leave the conference room and go back upstairs to rest.

Li Zhi returned to the third floor of the villa, laying in his bedroom, while using the system to reproduce the virtual image of his lover, while studying the video data sent from the ABO world.

The surveillance video is boring, and the surveillance in the isolation hospital is even more drowsy. Li Zhi watched it several times, but he couldn't find anything abnormal.There is nothing to criticize in the behavior of these soldiers in the data. If I have to say it, they are too slow when they come into contact with strange things.

This is human nature, but considering that these people are soldiers who have undergone special training, this kind of dullness that only appears in ordinary people seems a bit contrary.

It is not ruled out that it is a reflex disorder caused by a virus infection.

Li Zhi watched over a hundred hours of surveillance over and over again, even if he just browsed in his head, the speed was much faster than normal viewing, and it was a bit disgusting to watch.

It was already late at night, Li Zhi got up from the bed, wanted to relax downstairs, and found that there were still many scientific researchers awake on the second floor.

The evolutionary disease broke out in a large area, and the burden on everyone was heavy, and no one could sleep peacefully at this time.

What Li Zhi didn't expect was that the agronomist didn't sleep either.

I'm not researching new varieties, but holding a bunch of information and watching it repeatedly. From time to time, I'm still typing and talking on the brain of my left hand, which seems to be using a trading system.

"...Really? They didn't give you the information about this variety?" The agronomist was talking to the agronomist in Rongguo, when he suddenly noticed someone beside him, he was startled, and found that it was Li Zhicai who let go Tone, "Why did Comrade Li come down? It's so late, you should rest more."

Li Zhi shook his head, did not answer the words, but asked instead: "What are you looking at?"

"Hey, a new variety of crops looks like a specialty of the ABO world." Speaking of this, the agronomist cheered up and opened his brain screen to show Li Zhi.

He was also watching the surveillance video sent by ABO World.

Skillfully adjusting the video to a certain point in time, the agronomist pointed to a plate of vegetables that could not be seen clearly on the screen, and said: "I just read the report on this plate of vegetables and found that the nutritional value is very high, and it is very harmful to the growing environment. Don’t be picky, you can grow in sandy land, and you can also grow in saline-alkali land. I’ve already asked the ABO world for genetic data, and I’m just waiting for their reply.”

Li Zhi looked in the direction of his finger, but couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows, "This is..."

"They said it was called seabuckthorn, and it was originally found in the desert, but it was later discovered that it can be found in almost every place."

"That's not what I'm talking about." Li Zhi also opened up his intellectual brain, quickly called up this video, and clicked to play, "Look, at this point in time, it happened to be the first time that the soldiers who were sent back showed slow reaction When the soldier on the screen appeared abnormal, it seemed that this dish was the cause."

Li Zhi originally thought that this plate of vegetables was a local specialty or something, which was very rare, which caused the dullness.

But according to the agronomist, this thing is everywhere in the ABO world, whether it is before or after the outbreak of the apocalypse, it is very common, so his previous ideas are somewhat untenable.

Is there another reason?

Sure enough, the agronomist also found it incredible. After looking for relevant information about this soldier, he said, "Impossible! His hometown is the place where seabuckthorn was first discovered and named. This is probably what he ate the most!"

Li Zhi suddenly realized that the conclusion they had drawn before might be wrong.

Reminiscent of the legend he remembered before, Li Zhi had a faint feeling of grasping something in his heart.

It is true that the things that caused the soldiers to react unresponsively were put in front of them for the first time, but it may not be the soldiers themselves who are unfamiliar with these things.

It's the "virus" on them!

Li Zhi told the agronomist his conjecture, and the two looked at each other, and their expressions changed.

What kind of virus will react because the host "sees" something strange to itself?

What happened in the ABO world may be far more terrifying than they imagined!

--

Li Zhi and the agronomist's discovery quickly spread to everyone's ears.

That night, all scientific researchers gathered in the meeting room again, and under the auspices of Fu Xiyuan, they collectively held an emergency meeting with scientists from the ABO world.

At the same time, the medical scientists guarding various isolation points in Kyoto also received news, completely overturning their previous inherent ideas, and examining the evolutionary disease from another angle.

Family members, relatives and friends of patients with evolutionary disease were a little puzzled when they received the news that they were asked to provide the patient's behavior records before and after the disease, but the medical scientists were shocked after reading the content recorded in their brains.

Like the legendary woodcutter mentioned by Li Zhi, most patients with evolutionary disease have abnormal behavior for a period of time.

It's just that this abnormality is too short-lived, coupled with the high pressure of life in modern society, emotional breakdowns are common, and most people don't take this short-lived abnormality seriously.

So much so that before that, everyone thought that the evolutionary disease was only caused by a highly contagious virus.

The discovery of Blue Star may overturn the entire interstellar definition of evolutionary disease.
